Modelling of wind power forecasting errors based on kernel recursive least-squares method

Abstract

Forecasting error amending is a universal solution to improve short-term wind power forecasting accuracy no matter what specific forecasting algorithms are applied. The error correction model should be presented considering not only the nonlinear and non-stationary characteristics of forecasting errors but also the field application adaptability problems. The kernel recursive least-squares (KRLS) model is introduced to meet the requirements of online error correction. An iterative error modification approach is designed in this paper to yield the potential benefits of statistical models, including a set of error forecasting models. The teleconnection in forecasting errors from aggregated wind farms serves as the physical background to choose the hybrid regression variables. A case study based on field data is found to validate the properties of the proposed approach. The results show that our approach could effectively extend the modifying horizon of statistical models and has a better performance than the traditional linear method for amending short-term forecasts.

Power System Flexibility Enhancement with Energy Storages Considering Charging Characteristics

“…However, as renewable energy becomes more prevalent, system operations will face significant challenges [2]- [4]. One of the main issues is the volatility, intermittency, and unpredictability of renewable energy sources [5]- [6], which can lead to fluctuations. Ref.…”

Irregular distribution of wind power prediction

“…The probability distribution functions of different segments are derived respectively, and the parameters are estimated by the nonlinear least square method. Reference [31] derives the ultra-short-term wind power prediction errors according to their amplitudes and fluctuations, and combines the wind power prediction error model with the probability distribution fitting model to give a better analysis of the wind power forecast error. The authors previously proposed an irregular distribution of the wind power forecast considering the active control of the wind farms.…”
